Gulf Treasure: A Panama Parker Adventure - Paperback

by Tim Holcombe (Author)

In this, the first book in the Panama Parker series, Panama has a job he hates, an ex-wife who hates him, and now he's stuck in rush hour traffic on a freeway engulfed in flames. Seeking escape from this rut, Panama leaves his employer, buys a used RV (Miss Minnie), and moves to Panama City Beach, Florida. How difficult could starting a new life be? Land a job on a fishing charter, live in an RV park, and save up money to explore the entire country. But he didn't count on meeting Franky, losing everything, and a trip to prison. Not only that, a round of golf at Augusta National, priceless baseball cards, recording an album, and you end up with the trip of a lifetime. GULF TREASURE, the first book in the all-new Panama Parker series, is a fun-filled, page-turning romp.

Author Biography

Tim Holcombe was born in Marietta, Georgia in 1961, the son of a mechanic and a homemaker. After high school, he attended college in Florida to be trained, of all things, to be a pentecostal minister. After years of soul-searching, he left the ministry and became a salesman, all the while writing, primarily short stories of southern humor, which you'll have to dig to find. If you find them, they could be worth dollars. Or even cents. It was only in his mid-fifties that he began to get serious about writing books, and with the help of a built-in first editor, a retired English teacher who also provides occasional shoulder rubs, released his first two novels, "Tree Of Deceit" and "The Charlatan's Son." He is currently working on his next novel, "Gulf Treasure," to be released in 2017, the first novel in the Panama Parker Adventure Series. He currently lives in Alabama, where he remains allergic to cats. He is married to Marina, and is the father of four grown fantastic kids.
